Rock & Roll and Me

Little House Studios - Jay Daniels - Our Hearts Ballet

Like a lot of us these days, I have some extra hours on my hands. While looking to amuse myself at this most unamusing time, I made this. I hope it cheers you, too, and provides a few minutes pleasure. That is all it is for.

This music is also my version of whistling past the graveyard. One of many versions.

Please stay healthy. And let us be strong, and pick each other up when one of us is down.

Oh Eight Oo!!

When I was small
I'd stare at the wall
Where patterns of lights drew holes
Deep enough to fall into
And I

Got so afraid to look away
With fear that I'd never see them again
I lost that ability when I was eight
I still look for them today

When I was young
I knew how to have fun
A random stick was a gun
Real enough to make me run
And I

Got so immersed, I'd flea and hide
Fear of capture and losing a life
Those illusions faded by the age of nine
Oh, such a simpler mind

When I was a teen
I'd dare to dream
If I told you some things I've seen
Well, they’d make you scream your heart out
And I

Felt so tormented I had to escape
I'd do anything to stay out of my brain
I kicked those habits a little too late
Well, let's put that down to fate

These days I feel old
And when I stare at the wall
There's patterns of nothing but mould
Black enough to take a hold
And I

Get so afraid of everything
Places I'm going, places I've been
But if I could go back to way back when
I'd do it all the same again

Dangerous Babe - Slagle Rock & Sue (with Rob Zelinsky)

"The Turtle Project" started out as exactly that, a project, a songwriting project that was born from years of being a musician in many bands, doing countless gigs, naturally gathering experience and inspiration until, one day, I stumbled upon the fact that I could actually put those experiences and many others into words. The composing aspect grew from that into what it is today ...
My way of life .
